We can't wait to see you on campus!
Thank you for joining us for this event showcasing the 蜜桃影像 campus and the diverse doctoral programs that keep our research thriving.
蜜桃影像 is America's northernmost university and one of only a few universities in the nation with the triple-crown distinction of Land, Sea and Space Grant institution. 蜜桃影像 is the only Ph.D.-granting university in 蜜桃影像, with the Indigenous Studies Ph.D. program as the fastest-growing doctoral program at 蜜桃影像.
We have a variety of activities planned for visiting students ranging from academic activities with their faculty mentor and research cohort to cultural activities through the Festival of Native Arts. Students will also have the opportunity to explore uniquely 蜜桃影像 sites such as a visit to Chena Hot Springs and/or the World Ice Art Championships.
